克罗格新任首席执行官对超市货架最大的期待,就是让商品价格更加亲民。
上月刚接任克罗格CEO的格雷格·福兰,这位沃尔玛资深高管指出,这家总部位于辛辛那提的零售巨头在运营各环节都存在成本压缩空间。通过将节省的资金反哺给消费者,这位掌舵者相信将有效提升该连锁企业的市场份额。
面对来自老东家沃尔玛、阿尔迪等折扣超市以及大众超市等竞争对手的围剿,克罗格正承受着日益加剧的市场压力。福兰在投资者电话会议中强调:“我们必须加速销售额增长。根据我的经验,关键在于为顾客创造无可替代的购物理由。我们将全力挖掘业务中每一分可能的利润空间——这既包括优化采购策略、革新供应链管理,也涉及运营效率的全面提升。”
这位零售业老兵透露,克罗格计划引入人工智能技术简化顾客购物流程,同时赋能员工提升效能,从而降低企业运营成本。此外他还指出,通过加大直采进口商品力度,将为价格调整创造更多可能性。“目前我们的直接进口比例偏低”,福兰直言,“必须转变思路,建立直达产地的采购渠道”。
在当日大盘走低的背景下,克罗格股价逆势上涨约3%,展现出市场对革新战略的积极反馈。
